Zapatista agrarian reform

The Zapatista agrarian reform is a movement led by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in Mexico, aimed at redistributing land to Indigenous communities and small farmers. It challenges traditional land ownership structures, advocating for local control, social justice, and respect for Indigenous rights. The reform seeks to empower oppressed rural populations by promoting autonomous governance and sustainable development, emphasizing dignity and community decisions over government or corporate interests. Essentially, it’s about giving land back to those who farm it, ensuring they have a say in their future and uphold their cultural and environmental values.
